I need some advice I feel like I am out my depth with getting my little boy to sleep in his own cot in his own room

Little bit different here as my LO slept through in his cot for months, but from July he started waking at around 1am and just screamed until he was in our bed and refused to go back in his cot, so we had this exact dilemma as we ended up co sleeping and him ending up in with us earlier and earlier.

We basically decided to make the leap and move him to a floor bed, we’ve just done night 3 and he slept through in there the whole night on his own last night 🤯 (the first 2 nights we stayed on his cot mattress on the floor next to him so whenever he woke he could see us) and then last night he woke at 1am, had a little moan and look around, then straight back to sleep till 6.30! I don’t know whether he’d just had enough of his cot as even his single floor bed has a lot more space than his cot, but it’s definitely been a success for us x

I second the floor bed. My little girl woke up the second I put her in her cot, but this way I can feed her to sleep/cuddle to sleep and put her down and then roll away.

You haven’t failed as a mum at all, he just feels safe being next to his mumma & if that means you all get some sleep, then so be it ♥️ My 3 year old only stopped co-sleeping a few weeks ago, I thought he would be in my bed forever at one point because he would just refuse his own but but we very recently just switched up his bedroom, bought him a new “big boy bed” and took him to the shops to pick out some cushions and a blanket for his new bed, I didn’t hold out much hope but I put him to bed that night and he’s slept in his own bed every night since! There was no magic trick, he was just simply ready this time!
Don’t feel like you should have to do anything, the only pressure or expectation is the one you put on yourself. If you co sleep safely and it doesn’t bother you or your sleep then why change it. He will eventually sleep in his own bed, no doubt about it x

🫶♥️ thank you so much that means a lot xxx
